Chapter  14

{She (For Liz) by Parachute}

   I. Said. Yes.
   To Carson, I mean. The dance is tomorrow. He asked me on Tuesday, and now it's Friday. All week, I'd been so excited. But starting yesterday, all I could think is, What am I doing?
   Damion isn't going with anyone. I felt so bad about it, but apparently, he didn't. Yesterday, after I found out, he said, "Maggie, calm down." He tends to say that to me a lot, mostly because he always catches me freaking out about something. "I'll be fine. I don't need anyone to go with." Three girls had asked him. He said no to all three of them. "Although I will ask for just one dance, if I may?"
   I laugh. He laughs in response. "Of course. Why not?"
   After school on Friday, Amy and I go dress shopping. Jason and Damion come with us. Damion is driving his car, with Jason sitting in the passenger seat. Amy and I are sitting in the backseat, talking about what we're looking for in a dress. Or rather, what she's looking for. I have no idea, I'm just going to look at what they have.
   But then we pull up to the shop. It's a cute little family run shop in the Wauwatosa village, awfully close to my old house. I know this area like the back of my hand, and yet I had never been to this shop. I hadn't known this is where we were coming, and I grin when I see it. I scream inside my head when I get out of the car and see the dresses in the front window. Particularly the one right in front.
   We rush inside. Amy heads over to the racks towards the back of the store, where the purple dresses she was thinking of are displayed. Meanwhile, I walk right up to the front desk. "Excuse me..."
   "Yes, may I help you?" The clerk, a girl who couldn't have been more than 3 years older than me, smiled.
   "Can I try on that dress in the window?" I'm doing my best to contain my enthusiasm.
   "Of course. I'll go get one in your size." She comes back in less than a minute, then leads me over to the fitting rooms.
   "Oh, and could you tell my friends over there to come see the dress?" I point them out, across the store. "I want their opinion."
   "Sure, you try it on, and I'll go get them." She smiles again. "In my opinion, this dress is perfect for you. And I have worked here for 2 years. I've seen a lot of good and bad dress matches." She walks off, leaving me to try the dress on.
   When I look in the mirror, I see exactly what I had imagined. This is my dream dress. I had seen one almost exactly like it years ago, before I would even need a dress like this. Ever since, I had been drawn to similar dresses.
   It was bright orange, with one shoulder, and a bow on that shoulder. The skirt is a full tulle ballgown, with a slightly dropped waistline. Oh man, I watch too much Say Yes to the Dress. It's a little sad that I can name all those things.
   I hear a knock on the door, so I open it. All five mouths drop open. Even the salesgirl, who said it would look amazing, is amazed. "Is it that fabulous?" I ask sarcastically, twirling around like a seven-year-old. When I face them again, Amy comes and hugs me.
   "Awww, my little Meg is growing up!" Jason and Damion roll their eyes, and the girl heads back to her desk.
   "Amy. Amy." I pry her off of me and grab her shoulders. "You've only known me for a week."
   "Well, we all have." Jason says. "But you look so different."
   Damion chimes in, "In a good way, of course." He comes up and hugs me. "And now," he whispers in my ear, "I'm jealous of Carson." He pulls away. "You look stunning."
   "Thanks." I turn to Amy. "Now you try your dress on."
   When she comes out of the dressing room two minutes later, she looks more amazing than I even did. Her dress is chiffon, a purple floor length strapless gown with a silver embellishment on the front.
   "Oh, my God, Amy!!" We run to each other, and she says exactly what I was thinking.
   "Tomorrow... is gonna be the best day ever."


Note: Another really long chapter. But very necessary. So, here's Meg's dress:
